KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A dramatic end to Missouri’s legislative session is setting up a fierce fight over some of the state’s most hot-button issues — including abortion, paid sick leave, and minimum wage.

Abortion access will go once again before Missouri voters. This time in the form of House Joint Resolution 73, which passed in the Missouri Senate on Wednesday.

For the first time in more than 70 years, both chambers of the Missouri legislature were adjourned a full day early. In total, 67 bills were sent to the governor, but two led to protesters gathering on the south steps.

Democrats in the Missouri Senate vowed the procedural moves, which are rarely used, would lead to a "painful" response in the future.

A plan to keep the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals in Missouri by partially funding stadiums for the teams is dead for now after the state Senate ended its annual session in bitter acrimony over abortion.
